(Java) writing events to log text file

Question

I am trying to write the events in a log file but no file is being created. I am getting no error at all. Here is the log class:

public class Logs {
static FileHandler fileTxt;
static SimpleFormatter formatterTxt;


static public void logging() throws IOException {

    Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("");
    logger.setLevel(Level.INFO);//Loget Info, Warning dhe Severe do ruhen
    fileTxt = new FileHandler("c:/SimleTaskEvents.txt");
    formatterTxt = new SimpleFormatter();
    fileTxt.setFormatter(formatterTxt);
    logger.addHandler(fileTxt);

}
}

Solution 1

fileTxt = new FileHandler("c:/SimleTaskEvents.txt");

This line only creates a handler.

It does not create the file. What you need to do is, create the file(SimleTaskEvents.txt) in the directory "C:/". after that when u execute your program, the same program that u have put here, you will see logs being written to it.

Solution 2

You need to write to the log first

logger.info("this is a line of logging");

and maybe check this tutorial

Yes I am doing that through another class. I declare:

[Han]

private final static Logger lgs = Logger.getLogger(Logs.class.getName());

[Han]

and I use the lgs object than. The problem is that no file is being created!

this is using log4j, I just need to write a simple text file. However I followed the tutorial of the previous comment and I am in a good way I think :)
